Fivewheeldrive began for the gas powered culture.  Or as the great Clarkson says, “for those of us whose communion wine comes with an octane rating”.  As we hear the first haunting notes of internal combustion’s swan song, I am compelled to refocus my attention toward the future and its shocking possibilities.

I believe that anyone should be able to be an enthusiast regardless of their experience level, or their social status, or their paycheck.   And as much as possible, I hope to make this blog accessible to everyone, regardless of how much they may know about Jeeps, cars, trucks, or motorbikes.

In this blog, I plan to document the process that I go through as I progress from a shadetree grease monkey with a set and a half of wrenches to a competent mechanic, as far as I can stretch that definition, anyway.  Whatever the outcome,  I’m gonna try to share what I learn as I go, even if it gets embarrassing and expensive, so it should be a good time.

Kickstands up.  Let’s ride.
